The nature of my invention consists in th construction and arrangement of a spring arrangement for carriage or other vehicle bodies, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which-- Figure l is a longitudinal vertical section of a carriage-body embodying my invention.
